Pediatric imaging requires a specialized approach considering age, size, and development. Dr. Solís explores pediatric MR imaging complexities through a follow-up case of a 12-year-old boy with a low-grade glioma.

MR case review: Follow-up study of a 12-year-old boy with a low grade glioma at Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús

At-a-glance:

00:19] Previous MR brain study on a 1.5T Mobile MR
[02:08] New MR brain study on 3.0T (MR 7700)
02:32] Benefits of 3D T2w sequences with fat suppression (SPAIR), allowing reconstructions in multiple directions.
[04:06] Benefits of using a sagittal, high resolution, balanced FFE sequence of the brain midline, allowing to see tiny structures.
[05:58] Post-gadolinium images showing nodule enhancement
[06:18] Tumor tracking used for lesion follow-up, allowing measurements and segmentation.

This is a really nice sequence with really high resolution, that in this case has changed our diagnosis.
